Everything you need to run a better model show

hobbyshow brings registration, administration, judging, awards and results together in one easy-to-use system. Spend less time managing paperwork and more time creating a great show.


Easier registration for everyone

Feature

Benefit to your show

Online pre-registration

Entrants can register before show day from any phone, tablet or computer—reducing queues, paperwork and data entry at the venue.

Self-managed entries

Entrants can add, update, photograph or withdraw their own models, so organisers do not have to process every change.

Walk-in registration

Register last-minute entrants and models at the venue without creating a separate paper workflow.

Self-service registration kiosk

Let visitors register themselves on a shared device, which clears between users and keeps the registration desk moving.

Flexible entry fees

Configure flat fees, volume pricing and maximum charges to match the way your club runs its competition.

Entrant classes and categories

Create the classes and categories your show needs, from Junior and Senior through to Novice, Master or custom divisions.

Optional trophies and challenges

Add themed awards, same-kit competitions and sponsored trophies without forcing every model to participate.

Registration surveys

Collect useful information such as dinner attendance, photo permission or special requirements during registration.

Entry photographs

Bring entries and published results to life with photographs supplied by entrants or contributors.
